The complete decommissioning of the AVR reactor facility at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH (HTGR type) raised the question of the radioactive inventory built up during and since the operational phase. Therefore, a precise chemical and radiochemical analysis system was developed at the Institute for Safety Research and Reactor Technology at Forschungszentrum Jülich with the aim of identifying and quantifying 45 nuclides from both metallic and ceramic materials. Separation schemes and details of apparatus are given. Chromatograms are shown resulting from high-performance liquid chromatography which was applied for the fine separation of most β-emitters and of those nuclides which decay via electron capture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
